Writing services are here to support all Kean University writers. We work with all students, faculty, and staff at all levels of the proficiency and at any stage in the writing process. Whether you need help with a paper for class, personal statement, resume, or research work, our staff are trained to guide you through your own writing journey.
We are aware of, and sensitive to, linguistic differences and personal beliefs that each writer holds. We foster a supportive environment that allows writers a space where thinking and writing can happen organically.
Our goals are:
1. Support and guide writers through the composing process 2. Assist writers with understanding academic integrity and citation practices 3. Contextualize writing and guide writers through recognizing social and disciplinary norms of various writing tasks 4. Assist writers in understanding writing assignments 5. Help writers respond appropriately and accurately to writing tasks 6. Train writers to become independent editors of their own work |
